When you buy Halo 3: ODST, will the maps download to your harddrive so you can play the maps on your Halo 3 disc? Or will you have to play multiplayer on the Halo 3:ODST disc?

I'm rampant

I don't know. I'd guess you download them, but really, I don't know. I don't think anything has been said about it.

No No No..
You get two disks.
One is the ODST disk with the campaign and firefight...
the other is the Halo 3 Multiplayer disk with you good old Halo 3 Multiplayer and Matchmaking and ALL of the maps plus three new ones. You don't install them from the disk. However, you can probably buy the secound mythic map pack from the Game Marketplace for those who don't have ODST.

The fight has been complete.... now get the cookies!

While we certainly share your enthusiasm for the return, we here at the Bungie.net community are mostly made up of snarky asses and jerks who will ridicule you for making a thread about something revealed months ago. We regret that your innocent intentions will almost certainly be replied with anger and sarcasm, and politely invite you to don your Flame-suit, because you just did the internet equivalent of jumping up the Construct lifts.

You can only play them on the one they gave you in the ODST package. That is until they put it on marketplace which they will.

No, they're only on the disc, but you may be able to install the game to your hard drive... And they will never be on the marketplace, as it's supposed to be an "exclusive" feature in ODST.

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

There are two discs packaged in Halo 3:ODST, the campaign and Firefight mode on one, and the original Halo 3 mulitplayer with all of the maps available plus the three new maps.

Bungie made it so you can download ODST to the hard drive. They still don't want you to download the other halo 3 disc.
Downloading it to the hard drive doesn't mean you play the game without the disc it means it just makes it faster as said in one of the xbox 101's.

Halo 3: ODST disk will be needed I think for the new maps.
